5-4-3-2-1 Let's start a fire
|
Burn this town from inside out
|
Until no one's left alive
|
And you can¡¯t feel the rhythm of your steps when you hit the street.
|
Safety is so far away from here, when you¡¯re counting every step.
|
|
5-4-3-2 what are you waiting for?
|
The train is catching up, keep on running don¡¯t look back.
|
'Cause it's 10-9-8-7 everybody¡¯s coming to burn this city, burn this city down tonight and leave it all behind.
|
|
All his life he lived in this same house
|
Same white fence surrounding him, he swore he would get out.
|
But he can¡¯t because his foot got caught in between in the rails.
|
And all his friends were up ahead
|
They can¡¯t hear him yelling, yelling for some help.
|
And it¡¯s much too late to call the doctor now.
|
This town is full of sympathies; we¡¯re drowning in it all.
|
|
5-4-3-2 What are you waiting for?
|
The train is catching up, keep on running don¡¯t look back.
|
'Cause it's 10-9-8-7 everybody¡¯s yelling to burn this city, burn this city down tonight and leave it all behind.
|
|
Is that the sound of the gate coming down?
|
No flashing lights, no warning?
|
When we press our ears to the ground we feel the shake
|
But it¡¯s under the skin, so we wilt like violets
|
Can¡¯t get up, to put the petals in their place.
|
|
5-4-3-2 What are you waiting for?
|
Burn this city, burn this city tonight.
